Regular season

Summarize
Perspective

The Stars finished the regular season having scored the fewest shorthanded goals in the NHL, with just two.[1]

On February 6, 2009, the Stars defeated the New York Rangers at home by a score of 10–2.[2] It was the first time that the Stars had scored 10 goals in a game since they defeated the San Jose Sharks at home by a score of 10–3 on November 28, 1992, when the franchise was still based in Minnesota.[3]

On April 4, 2009, Trevor Daley scored just 16 seconds into the overtime period to give the Stars a 5–4 home win over the St. Louis Blues.[4] It would prove to be the fastest overtime goal scored during the 2008–09 regular season.[5]

In 2008, the Stars ended their affiliation with the American Hockey League (AHL)'s Iowa Stars as their primary minor league affiliate, expecting to announce the formation of a new minor league expansion team, the Texas Stars, at the beginning of the 2009–10 season. The Texas Stars will be based in Cedar Park, Texas, just three hours driving time from the metroplex. The Stars' minor league contract players are currently dispersed among four different teams in the AHL and ECHL.
